Simon Almond and David McDonald from the Old Course Hotel are fundraising to support the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal by walking 43 miles on the 12th April 2022. Starting at midnight from Dysart they intend to walk to the Old Course Hotel via the Fife Coastal Path in 15 - 18 hours, finishing around 5pm.

43 miles is the average distance that families are walking to escape the intense conflict in Ukraine. Leaving behind loved ones, livelihoods and almost everything they own, they need shelter, food, and water.

People are losing their homes and lives, essential services like water and healthcare have been hit and temperatures have dropped below zero. 

Please support our fundraiser to help reach those in urgent need in Ukraine and neighbouring countries. With your help we can support ActionAid and the DEC in scaling up their response and help families to stay warm and protect women and girls.

For every pound donated the Old Course Hotel, with the support of Kohler co, will match it (up to $10,000).

- £10 could provide essential hygiene supplies for 1 person for one month 

- £50 could provide blankets for 4 families to keep them warm

- £100 could provide emergency food for 2 families for one month.

Thank you for your support.
